On enabling "Try Heuristic LTE-MAC over UDP framing" [under the protocol
'MAC-LTE'], Wireshark crashes in some cases of an inconsistent pcap.
The inconsistency observed was due to rnti type (context information, not part
of the data payload) being incorrect. There was downlink system information
data (with RNTI of 0xffff), but rnti type was set to C_RNTI (3), instead of
SI_RNTI. This caused wireshark to interpret the data as UE specific data.
I have attached a sample pcap that causes such a crash.
It consistently caused a 'Segmentation Fault' on Linux (Red Hat 5.3).
This is what appeared on the terminal:
--------------
bash-3.2$ /opt/wireshark/bin/wireshark
(wireshark:10799): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer instance
(wireshark:10799): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_emit_by_name:

--------------
On Windows 7, it crashed consistently except on a few initial occasions when it
did open up.
